Dear Parents,

Your child will be entering the ninth grade in the 2021-22 school-year.

The State of Illinois requires all incoming ninth graders to have a dental exam and a physical exam/ IDPH immunizations for entrance into the ninth grade. A ninth grade physical can be done up to a year before the start of school. The dental exam can be done after December 15, 2020.

Dental Exam- must use the attached form. The Miles of Smiles Clinic held at school, during the school day, will count for the state required dental exam. Miles of Smiles consent forms will be available at Wesclin registration in July/August. There is NO COST to parents for the Miles of Smiles Clinic.

Physical Exam must have the following:

•	State of Illinois Certificate of Health Exam form (attached) no other form will be accepted

•	Immunizations as required by the Illinois Dept. of Public Health (IDPH) including 2 Varicella, 2 MMR, 3 Hep B, 4 or more Polio, 3 or more DTP, 1 Tdap booster and 1 MCV4.

•	Your child likely has received most of the above immunizations in the past. They do not need to be repeated for 9th grade. Please turn in a complete immunization record.

•	Parent section completed, signed and dated

•	Doctor section completed, signed and dated

Completed physical/immunizations are to be presented to the school office no later than September 30th, 2021. STUDENTS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND SCHOOL ON OCTOBER 15, 2021, UNTIL THE PHYSICAL/IMMUNIZATIONS ARE RECEIVED BY THE SCHOOL.

Appointments scheduled after October 15, 2021 WILL NOT allow student to remain in school.

Be sure your doctor has checked the “Interscholastic Sports” box on the back of the 9th grade physical form- if your student plans to participate in Wesclin sponsored sports for one year.

If you have any questions, please call or email.
